Chapter 383 Fire Attack

Zhao Bing thought that the nightmare might become a reality and could no longer sit still. He took a few people to the cabin deck, where he could clearly see the battlefield ahead from a high place.?                                                                                                        �

cn He held a telescope and looked at the Yuan army water camp in the distance. At this time, the sun gradually rose, and the shadows of the mountain on the sea slowly disappeared. The flags on the camp were half dead like floating north. The fog floating on the sea made him unable to see the other party's arrangement clearly, but he could not see any abnormal movement. The meteorological conditions seemed to not meet the conditions for fire attack. But he knew that it was the time for the monsoon to change, and the waves were calm just now, and the wind would surging in a blink of an eye.

‘Pu Lala…’ Just as Zhao Bing turned his gaze to the water camp, the handsome flag hanging high on the mast trembled, and then he felt a cool breeze blowing towards him, and the fog floating on the sea was also floating towards him quickly. At the same time, you could see the surge pounced from the sea gate towards the inland sea, pushing the ship to sway gently.

"What should come will come!" Zhao Bing's lucky mentality was blown away by the wind in an instant. He murmured, turning his gaze to the Yuan army camp. As the wind increased, the fog was quickly blown away, revealing its true appearance.

‘Woooo…’ The long horn sounded, and the enemy’s formation changed. The warships divided into three routes and began to slowly approach them. Looking at the forest-like masts, it was obvious that the entire army was out.

‘Dangdang…’ The alarm bells on the Song camp were ringing almost at the same time, followed by thunderous drums. The armies rushed up to the walls of the village, ready to counterattack the attacking enemy at all times.

"Fire Ship!" The enemy fleet suddenly changed its formation again and rushed out of the large ships at the front. They were filled with firewood and sails. Then the increasingly strong north wind rushed forward. This was the first time Zhao Bing had seen such a tactic. In history, these seemingly inconspicuous small boats had changed the historical course and changed the situation of the battle many times, which surprised him.

"The Tartars are investing a lot!" Zheng Yong also looked at the sea and said.

"Look carefully, they are not spending a lot of money, they are just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!" ​​Zhao Bing snorted coldly. He could see clearly that these ships used as fire ships were captured by the Song army and the brave Wuyan ships. This was taken from the enemy and used by the enemy. It was said that borrowing flowers to offer Buddha was purely to put gold on his face.

"Oh..." Zheng Yong sighed and said nothing, but he thought that the same was true for his own side. The Qiongzhou naval army started with three merchant ships. The imperial court was very happy to give more than 20 broken ships. However, the enemy ships seized by several wars have become a powerful navy with more than 800 warships, and no one dares to underestimate them.

Zhao Bing ignored Zheng Yong, who was deeply moved, the enemy fire ships released by the enemy were moving faster and faster. His heart was also jumping faster and faster at this time, as if he was about to jump out of his mouth, but he felt that the person who was most nervous should be Zhang Shijie. As the saying goes, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of a well rope. He set up a chain formation in Jiaoshan, burning the Yuan army a lot, losing nearly 100,000 troops, and almost all the last bit of the Song army's blood was ruined, so he was unable to stop the Yuan army from a military perspective. It can be said that the demise of the Song Dynasty had an unshirkable responsibility.

Now he will move to the sea. The same trick is used to form a chain formation. It can be said that Zhang Shijie did it despite everyone's opposition. If the Yuan army set fire to it, he may not be able to tell the court or to himself. Zhao Bing saw his figure appearing at the head of the village many times in the camera, commanding the soldiers to put down the long poles, and let the volunteers constantly draw water from the sea to soak the sea mud on the side of the ship, and hang countless buckets on the stern tip of the ship to block the attack of the fireboat.

"The Tartars are igniting!" Zheng Yong shouted loudly. Everyone looked at the fire boat about a hundred steps before the village wall. The Yuan soldiers on the boat tied the rudder, tied the sail cables, and used a torch to ignite the fire. The firewood that had been watered with oil was dipped in the fire. With the wind, the raging fire quickly ignited the raging fire. The soldiers on the boat also dipped into the water and escaped, and the ships following them were fishing them up.

"Let the ships secretly put away their boards and evacuate the formation!" Although he was ready to set fire, Zhao Bing still did not dare to take risks. Everything was in case of accidents, but in order not to cause panic, he could only prepare quietly and not shoot.

While talking, Zhao Bing's eyes still did not leave the warship. At this time, there was no need to use a telescope to see clearly. The Song army did not dare to neglect at the critical moment of life and death. More than a dozen people moved to the speeding fire boat in groups with long poles, making it impossible for them to approach the water camp. There were too many fire boats swarming in, and it was inevitable that some soldiers would escape the forest-like long poles and rushed to the front of the camp. At this time, some soldiers held long hooks in their hands and hooked the bucket hanging above, causing the water to tilt down to extinguish the flames. The brave men tried their best to draw water from the wall of the village, raising a mass of water mist.

"Prepare the gunship and rocket ships, calibrate the shooting distance, and use long fuses!" Although Zhao Bing's ship was still a long distance away from the battlefield, he felt that he was roasting himself on the fire, and his underwear was soaked in cold sweat. He wiped the sweat from his palms and ordered again.

Zhao Bing looked at the enemy fleet that was about a distance from the distance and had already stopped the ship. The bow of the ship was full of Yuan army generals. They pointed and laughed loudly, as if they were watching a play. However, he looked more like a group of vultures who specialized in eating rotten corpses waiting for their prey to die slowly. They rushed forward to share the food. But the fact disappointed them. Zhang Hongfan failed to recreate the glory of the Battle of Jiaoshan. After the Song army stubbornly extinguished the fire, the fire ship could not resist the burning of the fire and slowly began to sink. The fire gradually disappeared, revealing the water village that was still intact.

But before the Song army successfully resisted the invasion of the fireboat, the Yuan army released the fireboat again, followed by dozens of small and medium-sized warships, with archers standing on it, they specialized in shooting the Song soldiers and brave men who were extinguishing the fire. Although people kept getting caught in the ground, the Song army did not dare to relax at all. Under the supervision of the officers, they fought desperately to put out the fire without regard for casualties. At the same time, they also sent archers to shoot against the hostile force, trying to drive the enemy away. For a moment, the arrows collided back and forth like locusts, and the war became even more tense...

"Stand for a while, the enemy will retreat!" After repelling the attacks of three-wheeled fire ships one after another. Although the Song army suffered losses, the enemy's fire ships finally failed to break through the defense. Zhao Bing looked at the sky. The sun was already above his head and it was tens of noon. In about an hour, the tide should be retreated. The enemy seemed to have exhausted the fire ships and had no more ships to send. At that time, they had to retreat.
